If an individual ever had the ability to express his or her whole soul in an email,
I would probably trade him or her a bar of dark chocolate and an entire jar of peanut butter to find out the secret.
I really have found a change beginning to stir in my heart. I think the biggest sign is that I have this deep and profound desire to be obedient to not only every law and commandment given from Heavenly Father, but also the whisperings of the Holy Ghost in each moment of my day. I just really want to do what God wants me to do. That doesn't mean that I have talent for being obedient, but it means that I am laying down my weapons of war and actually trying to join sides with my Heavenly Father. To anybody who would like to lead a happier life, pray for the ability to be obedient. That is my best advice.
Also, if YOU did not get the chance to watch the 183rd Semi-Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend, please make that happen.
If you don't think it's important, we have an emergency.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION
1. Go to lds.org.
2. Find the information for the nearest branch of the Church.
3. Figure out how to get in touch with the bishop.
4. Ask him how to get in touch with the missionaries.
5. Plead with the missionaries to come to your house and teach you about the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
6. Listen to what they have to say and then accept their invitation to pray in faith to your loving Father in Heaven and find out for yourself that we have a prophet on the earth today.
7. Well, the missionaries will help you with the rest.
It is really, really easy!
All the Lord has asked us to do is look to Him and live. Look to Him in every moment for help, guidance, strength, and knowledge. I promise you that He will help you if you have faith and you are sincere.
SHOULD PROBABLY LET Y'ALL KNOW
we have a baptism this week <3
AND WE ARE THRILLED.
Little Miss Xiomara, of nueve años, has inactive parents who live in Spain. We have been trying to get their permission to have her grandpa baptize her for several weeks now, but they just hadn't come to a decision.
Elder Scroggins suggested a district fast for all of our different struggles, and so we fastedon Thursday. In the middle of the day, we called Xiomi's wonderful aunt Merci and she said that her parents have given permission! So this adorable little lady is going to be baptizedthis Saturday.
(p.s. fasting works)
We also found out (YESTERDAY) that the stake has decided to put on a talent show (THAT NIGHT) and they want US (the missionaries) to come up with FIFTEEN DIFFERENT ACTS.
WHAT.
Wish us suerte.
Quote of the Week:
We were teaching Antonio about the Palabra de Sabiduría. He agreed to live it...poco a poco...and so we had to have a nice discussion about the blessings of immediate obedience and things como así. He then agreed to live it completely right then and there, then thought for a moment, and then pouted like a child and said,
"Pero...whiskey es rico."
OH YOU POOR THING WITHOUT YOUR TASTY WHISKEY.
He's going to have a good long life.
All the rest of the quotes are pretty much only funny if you're a missionary and know the passages about baptism in the Book of Mormon like the back of your hand. Although I always get a kick out of Elder Brown and the fact that his idea of the thug life is...surprise selfies with random people.
smile click click flash yay
Alright, we're late to go pay for our apartment. Somebody remind me to explain why the word TRIFLE is so darn hilarious en la zona Puente Piedra.
Love you all!
De Perú con amor,
